[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kate McKinnon as a teenager? lol, no. Amanda can still pull it off. Not for much longer, but for now.[/quote]

Kate McKinnon is only like a year older than Amanda seyfried. But I don’t think either of them can pull off a teenager whatsoever. [/quote]I thought Amanda was easily believable as an 18-year-old.[/quote]

She has a face that reads young no matter what (it’s the big eyes and high forehead with otherwise small/delicate features— literally baby faced). Kate McKinnon has a very adaptable face for many characters, obviously, but her face has more balanced features that are easier to age than make look younger.

I also think given the importance of the voice work, Siegfried was a better choice. McKinnon’s natural speaking voice is already lower and huskier, so while I’m sure she could do a great impersonation of Holmes’ fake voice she created, you’d lose the contrast with her higher natural voice, which is important to the character arc. Especially in the Mayer episodes when, for instance, you see her shifting her voice between conversations with Sonny or the Walgreens guys, and her mom or brother. [/quote]
